1st trip to L&D!

We've had a very exciting week. Let's start at the beginning...Aubie was gone Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, he came home Wednesday night then left again Thursday morning. I'm familiar with Extension so this was a pretty normal schedule...except when your 26 weeks pregnant with twins and you have a 3 year old and it's Halloween week!! Gage and I had lots of activities (carnivals, trick-or-treating, etc) so we were very busy the entire week. Then on Saturday we went to OKC for an early birthday treat. Catey (who is 30 weeks preggo with a son) took me for a maternity massage and lunch!!! It was my first massage and I'm officially addicted! After we returned to Catey's house, Eric and Aubie left for the football game. That's when I started feeling weird. I drank a gallon of water and tried to ignore it...thinking I was paranoid.

When the boys returned from the game I was sure something was wrong so I called the nurse and she said we should go to the hospital to get checked. Upon arrival it was determined that I was having very mild contractions and my blood pressure was too high so we were invited to spend the night!! I was given some meds for the contractions and luckily it worked with the first dose (I'd like to avoid as many needles as I can!!) We were released around 8 a.m. Sunday with instructions to take meds every 6 hours and to REST (a very hard thing for me to do!!)

After we were released we rushed to Eric and Catey's house to pick up Gage. Then we ran to a pharmacy to get my Rx and made it home in time to shower and change clothes before our baby shower (which was absolutely adorable! My hostesses did a great job and all of the guests were very generous!)

I went back to the doctor this morning for a follow up and everything is still calm. I'm to continue my meds every 6 hours until further notice and while he didn't give me specific restrictions, it was mentioned that while I'm allowed to work full time, I need to really take it easy at home. Whatever it takes to grow healthy babies!
